The
Cool Lime Starbucks Refresher is basically a mix of fruit juice, mint, and a lime slice with green coffee extract (i.e. caffeine) shaken with ice.
A 12-ounce Tall sits between an iced coffee and iced latte in price at
$2.95. Starbucks has the Refreshers up to a 31-ounce Trenta for $4.45.
If you're wondering why it's called a "Cool Lime Starbucks Refresher" and not just a "Cool Lime Refresher, " it's because "Starbucks Refresher" is easily trademarked... "Refresher," not so much.
In taste, Refreshers remind me very much of Vitamin Water and other similar lightly-flavored waters. The taste is a primary mint flavor followed with a note of weaker lime; like a light Mojito without the alcohol. I would prefer a bit more tartness, but it's not bad... but it's not great either.
It might not be a bad idea to include a wedge of lime for people to squeeze (or not) as they like. Options you know?
If you veer more towards full-on fruit juices, or Kool Aid, these probably aren't for you. It's more geared towards people who want a natural hit of caffeine, but don't like (or feel like) iced coffee or tea. I will note that the amount caffeine is about half as much as a similarly-sized iced coffee at Starbucks.
Personally, I'd rather go for the iced coffee.

ReplyDeleteHATED IT, tasted vile&bitter. Shitness.
ReplyDeleteI really like this drink, and have it on occasion (usually I just get green tea). I agree that it tastes like a weaker mojito, which I think is what I like about it since I often drink mojitos.
ReplyDeleteI guess this one is a love it or hate it. I personally hated it, no lime reminded me of a yogurt/mint combination. Was expecting more of a lime-ade.
